as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v coloss._n 2._o 11._o 12._o and_o so_o it_o follow_v that_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o baptism_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v both_o one_o in_o signification_n and_o operation_n wherefore_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o outward_o nor_o that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o flesh_n
